It wouldn't seem likely that the IRS would harass sheeple that are eligible for exchange subsidys. That would only expedite overturning the law. However, rebellious higher 6 figure incomes would make a juicy target. The maximum tax penalty is the average price of a bronze plan in the US..
That is true. However, it is also likely that those high income people have plans from work that qualify. You’re then left with small businesses and other self-employeds.
I think the real SHTF stuff is coming next year (which they will delay until after 2016) are the enormous taxes that are coming to businesses that supply plans the government considers “Cadillac” and they will be heavily taxed. Expect to see plans devolve down to Obamacare levels with unneeded things like abortions and BC pills, or expect the employee contribution skyrocket. Either way, it ain’t gonna be purty.
